Ringing in 2025 was awesome aboard the Princess Regal with 40 Robson Ranch travelers! We boarded the ship seamlessly in Galveston, Texas, and enjoyed a day at sea before porting in Cozumel, Mexico. What a beautiful place! What fun to return to the ship and hear about all the wonderful excursions others took. They went to cooking classes, swam with dolphins, snorkeled, and discovered Mayan ruins. Costa Maya was the second port and, again, so many fun things to do! Rain doused most everyone, but it didn’t matter. We were exploring and seeing new and exciting things. The last stop was to Roatan where chocolate is big, and some of our group went to a chocolate plantation and made chocolate bars. Some were brave and rode in aquatic scooters and dawned space-like helmets before scooting underwater to explore the coral reefs.
All this fun and ringing in the new year with close old and new friends aboard the beautiful ship made for wonderful memories. What better place to be when the clock struck midnight than in the grand hall, dancing the night away?! This was truly a wonderful trip with fantastic memories to last a lifetime!
